Summer

It's 100 degrees today. It was 104 degrees yesterday. And
something's going on with the AC in my apartment so it's about 86
degrees in my living room. In fact, it's so hot in my apartment Molly
was freaking out trying to get out of her cage. So I picked her up and
held her in front of my little fan. Normally she hates being held and
will nibble on my hands until I put her down but as soon as I stood in
front of that fan, she flattened out and laid perfectly still in my
arms! So, yeah ... it's hot.

When we had the rabbits in our apartment in Chicago, we only had window units. Sometimes, if it was extra hot, we would fill up old juice bottles with water and freeze them. The frozen bottles would go into the cage with the rabbits, and they would snuggle against them to cool themselves down a bit more.
